About this product
What is the Glock FRT Trigger? It's a billet aluminum flat trigger shoe upgrade kit designed exclusively for Glock Gen 1–6 models, excluding the Glock 44, offering enhanced performance and reliability in a drop-in configuration. Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in Cerakote for durability, it provides a crisp break and consistent pull weight. Available in Black or Red, it requires minimal fitting and tuning for optimal function.
What is the Glock FRT Trigger used for?
The Glock FRT Trigger replaces the stock Glock trigger shoe to improve ergonomics, reduce pre-travel, and offer a flatter, more consistent pull profile. It's ideal for competitive shooters, law enforcement, and enthusiasts seeking a tactile upgrade without full trigger assembly changes. Drop-in installation makes it suitable for users comfortable with basic gunsmithing, though professional fitting is recommended for perfect results.
How does the Glock FRT Trigger compare to the Glock-Mod Polymer V3 Trigger Shoe Kit?
The Glock FRT Trigger outperforms the Polymer V3 Kit in durability and weight reduction, being 15% lighter at 12.3 grams versus 14.5 grams for the polymer alternative. Aluminum construction provides a more rigid platform for consistent pull, while the Polymer V3 offers a curved profile and integrated safety, better for users preferring traditional feel over flat-face precision.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Glock FRT Trigger shoe weighs 12.3 grams and measures 1.2 inches in length, 0.3 inches in width, and 0.2 inches in thickness. These compact dimensions ensure compatibility with standard Glock frames without modification, contributing to a 20% reduction in overall trigger mass compared to stock components.
Who is this NOT for?
This trigger is not for Glock 44 owners or users unfamiliar with trigger tuning, as it requires precise installation and may need fitting by a gunsmith. Beginners should consider the Glock-Mod Polymer V3 Trigger Shoe Kit for easier, safer installation with included safety features.
What's in the box?
The kit includes one billet aluminum trigger shoe, a 3mm pivot pin, and installation instructions, totaling three components. No tools or additional parts are provided, so users must supply their own armorer's set for installation, which typically takes 15–20 minutes with basic experience.
Is the Glock FRT Trigger worth it at $120?
At $120, the Glock FRT Trigger is a solid investment for shooters prioritizing precision and durability over budget options. It offers a 30% improvement in pull consistency compared to stock triggers, but requires professional installation, adding $50–100 in gunsmithing costs. For those seeking a ready-to-install alternative, the Glock-Mod BLEM-CHIP Trigger provides similar aluminum construction at a lower price with minor cosmetic blemishes.
